Abstract
The authors describe a patient who experienced two successive strokes in the right hemisphere. After the first stroke, she showed stimulus-centered left neglect confined to right space on a circle discrimination task, which resolved. After the second stroke, she showed body-centered left neglect on the same task. These observations of two types of left neglect in the same patient suggest there are at least two distinct spatial attentional systems in the brain: global and focal attentional systems.
